  I know this might veer off topic:
 
  Maybe I am biased (and partly curious), mostly due to working at a
company
  that actually did refer to its building sub-units as pods, and
  subsequently its network subnets (with a scheme pretty much dictated by
 the
  company  campus' physical subdivisions) as pods, but does the Cisco HQ
  campus have multiple building pods as well?  It is an actual term used
 in
  architecture.  Has it perhaps slipped over into being part of Cisco's
  network terminology?
 
  Perhaps this preconception on my part had me thinking of the pods in the
  BSCN book in this manner.  I did notice, perhaps I am wrong, but the
  individual pods in the Cisco book tend to have separate areas (in OSFP
  scenarios This might seem like a stupid question, but sometimes having
  english as my
  2nd language, makes it more difficult for me to understand what the
 writer
  is trying to tell me.
  
  I am in the middle of my BSCN book, and are now seeing the word POD
 showing
  up several times. It tells me that each POD has a number of routers,
and
  there are a certain amount of POD's.
  
  Reading the explanation at http://www.dictionary.com gave me NO answers
 to
  this one, and the closest thing I can guess my self to is that POD's
are
  kind of departments or subnets, unless the Prince Of Darkness has been
  involved with Cisco networks lately :-)
  
  Thanks for any replies to this one.

  Im in a dilemma.  I need some career advice from some experienced
  professionals and anyone else that has been on the same road.
  I am 22 years old   I have one more test (CIT) to complete my CCNP.  I
 have
  been planning on studying for the CCIE and taking the lab within the
next
  year and a half but Im not sure now.  My problem is that I want to get
my
  computer science degree and I dont think I can get both and work at the
 same
  time.   I am about 2 and a half years from graduating.  I also work 40
 hours
  a week as a computer tech for an elementary school.  I have hands on
  experience with cisco only in a lab enviroment, not in a production
 network.
I feel confident that I want to keep learning networking, but at the
 same
  time I feel I am missing something by not having a degree and not having
a
  broader understanding of computer systems.
  The longer I work and put off school I know it will be harder for myself
 to
  get the degree.
 
  Now I am deciding to go to school full time (after I save up some money)
 and
  get the degree done.
  I guess the only reason I feel hesitant about doing this is because I am
  getting closer to getting the CCIE and that has been my focus for the
last
  year and a half.  But I have been thinking about it and I think having
the
  degree behind me will help in the long run if I want to go into
management
  or if I decide to maybe get into network programming (which I know
nothing
  about but am kinda curious to learn).  Part of me wants to get into the
  field now, but the logical part of me is telling myself to wait and get
 the
  degree.  I dont want to get a cisco related job while going to school
  because that will postpone myself getting the degree or take away from
my
  job because I am focusing on school.  Any suggestions?

Re: Which is the Best Book on the CID test [7:8117]

I don't think that anyone dislikes the Cisco CID book. I think that some
folks wish it was a bit more focused on the exam itself. Try the Sybex ( I
haven't read it but it comes highly recommended here) if you want a book
focused on the test. Personally I read the Cisco book and with my prior
knowledge/reading it was more than enough to pass the CID exam. I did read

 Hi all..

 Looking for book recommendations for CID.

 Although I used the Sybex/Lammle and Exam Cram books for CCNA/CCDA, I've
 since used nothing but Cisco Press/Exam Cram books for BSCN, BCMSN, and
 BCRAN and had good success.  I've read good things about the Sybex book
for
 CID, so I'd like to head thoughts on it.  I haven't seen an Exam Cram for
 the CID. =(I've seen the CID exam notes by Sybex, kinda thumbed
 through in stores looked pretty good.

 BTW:  I have to give a plug to BookPool.com.. they consistently have
 better prices than anyplace I've found.  They have the Sybex CID book for
 $29.50. compared to Borders ($44.99), Amazon ($39.99), etc that's
a
 smokin' price.  Exam Crams are around $15 each (50% of list price)..
 just FYI.

 TIA,

 Mike W.

 PS:  Robert (Padjen), I expect to see a book plug from you =)

Re: Layer3 switch vs Router [7:7406]

Well,

Someone may have a product based answer for you but literally a router is a
layer 3 switch.  Just think of all of the functionality that a switch offers
you and add on the route switch module to sweeten the pot.
A router either bridges or has separate subnets on each of its
interfaces.(simplistic answer of course).

Passed CCIE written today [7:5947]

2001-05-25 Thread Bryan in Richmond

Thanks for all of the help and interesting discussion. I passed the CCIE
written today and it was a bitch. The written is only a test that is a
turning
point for focus. Yes it is hard and it also can be somewhat convoluted.
To avoid all of the questions about what did you use and what was on the
exam here is a synopsis that does not violate the agreement. (I hope!)

Preparing for the CCDP and CCNP are the best ways to get there. After that go
with a Cisco prep book (I used the Que CCIE prep). Read all of the white
papers that you can get your hands on from Cisco, concentrating on the areas
that you feel you are the weakest.

Hands on is the best teacher but it does not substitute for understanding. As
Cisco says the steps are  -   Hands on, self study  training.

Use the Rossi token paper @

http://www.ccprep.com/resources/news/archives/Token_Ring2.pdf

Confirm your knowledge of RIF's @

http://www.loopy.org/rif.cgi

Thanks Chad!

Read the cramsession @

http://www.cramsession.brainbuzz.com

Boson gives you an idea if you are ready but ...

The CID book is a great refresher and yes the blue print on Cisco.com is to
be
followed with reverence.
I have read alot of e-mails about what people did and did not see on the test
and they are all different. The blueprint is your best guide. Use it.

I will not answer specific questions about the exam but anything general
please feel free to email me personally.

On to the real test. ugh  Man I love this stuff!!

Re: Distributed Director [7:5794]

2001-05-24 Thread Bryan in Richmond

I use one for load balancing between two IIS servers. One server in Jersey
and one in Richmond VA. Basically a www request gets forwarded to the Dis
Dir. by the DNS server and then the router picks either of the two servers
at random to send the user to the intranet home page. The servers are
replicated with Veritas replication exec at the www level so they have the
same web content. The director polls each of the servers every 20 secs on
port 80 to confirm that web content is available. If one of the servers is
down then the user is always forwarded to the server that is up.

 I have the older version though. I believe there is a lot more
functionality to the newer models.

 the topics discussed were a review of mosttly routing/desktop
 protocols.  I have just started the Sybex CID book and it follows the
 same.   I was wondering if both of these materials cover all the
 stuff that I would need to know for this exam.  Could anyone point
 me to some URL's on Cisco that really help for this test or maybe even
 some pointers (without breaking the NDA *grin*)

 Thanks so much.

 Know your CCNP and CCDA stuff. Read the Cisco Press CID book. Find some
 stuff on Cisco.com on StratacomYou should be ready after that. I took
 the exam 4 weeks ago. It is tough but do-able.
 I'm currently preparing for the written. Ugh.. The
 http://www.cramsession.brainbuzz.com stuff is pretty good review. good
 luck!!!

I believe that the 0x is there merely to let you know that what follows is

 This may be a rudimentary question for all the EE majors out there.

 Can anyone tell me what the 0x in front of 0x00-80-C2?(  Why don't they
 just use the 00?) If I need to brush up on my hex (don't we all now that
 IPv6 is coming out) let me know what good resources are out there.

 Thanks,

Re: Unable to Erase FLASH. [7:4065]

2001-05-11 Thread Bryan In Richmond

Hope this helps,

Heres the link to the whole Doc.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios113ed/113aa/113a
a_2/allplats/ifs.htm#xtocid284728

Heres an excerpt

Permanently Delete Files on a Flash Device
When a Flash memory device is full, you may need to rearrange the files so
that the space used by the deleted files can be reclaimed. To determine
whether a Flash memory device is full, use the dir command.

To permanently delete files on a Flash memory device, complete the following
task from privileged EXEC mode:  Command  Purpose
squeeze filesystem:
 Permanently delete all files marked deleted in Flash memory.

 Command  :   squeeze filesystem
   Purpose  :Permanently delete all files marked deleted in
Flash memory




When you issue the squeeze command, the router copies all valid files to the
beginning of Flash memory and erases all files marked deleted. At this
point, you cannot recover deleted files, and you can now write to the
reclaimed Flash memory space.




Note The squeeze operation can take as long as several minutes because it
can involve erasing and rewriting almost an entire Flash memory space.



Verify Flash
To recompute and verify the checksum of a file in Flash memory on a Class A
Flash file system, use the verify command.

 You need to squeeze the flash in order to truly empty it.

Re: CCIE written preparedness [7:3951]

2001-05-09 Thread Bryan in Richmond

I guess I'd just like to add that I finished my CCDP/CCNP this year so I
guess I'm in a bit of a rush to sit the written as alot of the material is
still fresh. I have studied a considerable amount but taking the Boson
really shook my confidence level. I read the QUE book but perhaps I should
spend some more time with Doyle and Caslow...

Just fishing for advice.

Thanks to all for the great forum. I don't participate alot but I do read
the posts (most of them) every day.

 Are the Boson CCIE written practice tests similar to the types of
questions
 on the real written?
 If I can't do at least a 70% on the first run through of a Boson test
should
 I wait until I can to take the real written?

 I hate to use practice tests but I tried a trial run through on one of
them
 and didn't do that well so I am wondering if I should delay my written
until
 I can score better on the practice exams as an indicator of my knowledge
up
 to this point.

 Thanks!
